1. The Future of Yacht Recycling “overview on regulatory compliance” Albert Willemsen ICOMIA Environment Consultant

2. overview on regulatory compliance past, present and future Past: Past: To give you a better understanding of current legislations Present : Several International and European policy, regulations and legislations Present : Several International and European policy, regulations and legislations Future: We can expect more pressure of …. resulting in….. Future: We can expect more pressure of …. resulting in…..

3. PAST First issues reported in relation to abandoned boats within our Industry beginning of the 90’s Dismantling and recycling in beginning of ’90’s in compliance National waste regulations - legislations MIA’s Norway and Japan presented to ICOMIA – IEC in 1995-1997 and 1999 – 2003 their National programs The Basel Convention was adopted in 1989; elaboration of controls on the “transboundary” movement of hazardous wastes and movement of such wastes across international frontiers, and the development of criteria for environmentally sound management of the wastes includes “waste and materials from ship-dismantling” The Rotterdam Convention adopted in 1998; an International mandatory procedure and information exchange mechanism on hazardous chemicals and pesticides

4. PAST change of policy Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) presented in 1990 in Sweden became more Internationally, but focused on one product therefore followed for the more complex products Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA, also known as life-cycle analysis, eco- balance, and cradle-to-grave analysis) IMO 1998 the issue of ship recycling; attention of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 2002 Assembly agrees that IMO should develop recommendatory guidelines Assembly adopts 2003 the developments IMO Guidelines on Ship Recycling, resulting in 2009 the Hong Kong Convention EU 2002 change in policy; Sixth Community Environment Action Programme Revision of the legislation; measures regarding waste prevention and management, start of reuse & recycling policy.

5. International waste policy as result of integration of EPR/ LCA, waste and H&S policy Based on cradle to grave Importance of designers in the policy integrated !!! Polluter has to pay principle (GLOBAL)

6. 3 types of legislations and ISO International 3 types of legislations and ISO waste, product and health & safety related and ISO International The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (the Hong Kong Convention), was adopted by delegates from 63 countries. Joint ILO-IMO-Basel Convention Working Group on Ship Scrapping; Basel Convention adopts Guidelines on the Full and Partial Dismantling of Ships, Geneva, December, 2002 - 2004 Working Group of IMO, ILO and Basel Convention Parties a joint Working Group on ship scrapping was established by IMO, the International Labour Organization and the Conference of Parties to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal incl. EU aim of avoiding duplication of work and overlapping of roles

7. IMO - ILO New designs and new builds of Ships, Yachts and or Boats Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Material Declaration Forms fundament for the IHM New label system in force by UN; Global Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)

8. EU Recycling: Part of EU Waste Framework Directive End of Life Vehicles Directive implemented by the Producers Responsibility Organization (PRO); for example in Netherlands by ARN, see session 5! Green paper on better ship dismantling. Brussels, May 2007. (COM(2007) 269 Final). An EU strategy for better ship dismantling. Brussels, November 2008. (COM(2008) 767 final). European parliament resolution of 21 May 2008 on the Green paper on better ship dismantling Regulation No 1257/2013 of the EU on Ship Recycling sets out a number of requirements for European ships, European ship owners and ship recycling facilities willing to recycle European ships - and their relevant competent authorities or administrations. It also requires the Commission to adopt a number of acts implementing the Regulation (in particular the European List of ship recycling facilities authorized to recycle ships flying the Union flag).

9. EU The objective of the Regulation is to reduce the negative impacts linked to the recycling of EU-flagged ships, especially in South Asia, without creating unnecessary economic burdens. It brings into force an early implementation of the requirements of the 2009 Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, therefore contributing to its global entry into force. There is a clear link to international health and safety rules set by the International Labour Organization (ILO) at the joint ILO – IMO Basel Convention regarding ship scrapping.

10. EU Differences within EU MS’s regarding waste prevention because of the Waste Framework Directive (see for example session 3) The revised Waste Framework Directive requires that Member States establish, by 12 December 2013, national waste prevention programmes. These programmes shall be evaluated at least every sixth year and revised as appropriate. They shall be integrated either into the waste management plans or into other environmental policy programmes, as appropriate, or shall function as separate programmes. If any such programme is integrated into the waste management plan or into other programmes, the waste prevention measures shall be clearly identified. Several other legislations related to dismantling/recycling or reuse like the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2011/65/11 - EU RoHS recast

11. EU EU Health and Safety Besides the ILO requirements which is focused on H&S for the workers there is an EU H&S regulation which is aimed at the facilities and chemicals Directive 2012/18/EU (reviewed in 2012; ) on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances; important for recycling and the related facilities & equipment. Aimed at prevention, preparedness and response; so called Seveso Directive

12. ISO ISO 30000 series: Specifications for management systems for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling facilities ISO 3000 – 3007 related to ships and large yachts ISO 3008 originally meant for dismantling Yachts and Boats; but still no decision within ISO TC8 regarding the start!

13. FUTURE More pressure from legislators on reuse reclaim and recycling More pressure hazardous material and priority hazardous substances and chemicals More integration of environment, H&S and management systems Polluter has to pay principle
